(a)Determine expected time and the variance for all the activities.
(b)Determine the earliest start and finish, latest start and finish time and also find slack time for each activities and the project completion time.
4. A dentist schedules all his patients for 30 minutes appointments. Some of the patients take more or less than 30 minutes depending on the type of dental work to be done.

Simulate the dentist’s clinic for four hours and find out the average waiting time as well as the idleness of the doctor.
Assume all the patients show up at the clinic at exactly their scheduled arrival time starting at 8:00am. Use the following random numbers, 40, 82, 11, 34, 25, 66, 17, 70.
5. The number of cars arriving at a self-service gasoline station during the last 50 hours of operation are as follows:
Number of cars arrivingFrequency
610
714
818
98
(a)Set up a probability and cumulative probability distribution for the variable of car arrivals.
(b)Estimate random number intervals for the variables.
(c)The following random numbers have been generated: 99, 98, 26, 09, 49, 52, 33, 89, 21, and 37. Simulate 10 hours of arrivals at this gas station. What is the average number of arrivals during this period?

The agency has only 6 cars at present.
i) Use the following 5 random numbers to generate 5 days of demand for the rental agency:
Random No.s: 15, 48, 71, 56, 90
ii) What is the average number of cars rented per day for the 5 days?
iii) How many rentals will be lost over the 5 days?
